PREDICTED RISE IN TRIBUNAL CLAIMS
Most employers forecast an increase in the number of employment tribunal claims following the Government's increase in the unfair dismissal qualifying period from one year to two years, according to our latest research.
The change in the qualifying period came into effect in April 2012, and was introduced by the Government to help reduce the number of employment tribunal claims. However, our research suggests the opposite is likely to occur.
More than two-thirds of those responding predict that the overall number of claims will increase, either because the amount of claims under other headings - with no service requirement - will increase or because employees will look at claims under automatically unfair grounds.
Our respondents believe that this change could backfire on the Government. Watch this space.
